(9/26/14) Cornerback Ike Taylor and linebacker Ryan Shazier are out, but the Steelers are otherwise in good shape for their Sunday clash against visiting Tampa Bay.

From the 40-yard dash to the bench press, the on-field tests at the NFL Combine will produce a lot of numbers this week. Let's break down the steps of each drill and make sense of it all.

Darrius Heyward-Bey will try to hold on to his career with the Steelers this season. We can't quite put a finger or ten on what went wrong with DHB in Indianapolis, it must be slipping our minds. You have to hand it to the Steelers on giving an underachiever like Heyward-Bey a shot at grasping the offense and coming up in the clutch. Through five seasons he's never grabbed more than five touchdowns or hauled in over 1,000 yards, so it's not like you should have heavy-handed expectations. Don't draft Heyward-Bey because you might DROP him soon thereafter.
